Sweet Backup Drive / External, Portable Hard Drive
Written by Tony

This drive looks pretty sweet. It's a 160 GB external drive that's safe to take with you since it's USB powered and has some added security so that if you lose it or if it gets stolen, they can't access it:

The BlackArmor portable hard drive is the always encrypted, government-grade, secure portable storage solution designed for carrying your sensitive business and personal data with you. Featuring hardware-based full-disc encryption technology, it not only prohibits access to your data without the password, but eliminates tedious manual security procedures that are required in other technologies. When its USB cable is removed from the computer, the drive automatically locks. Not even a professional data recovery service can access or restore your data without the correct password. Plus, should you choose, permanent deletion of the encryption key allows for secure repurposing of the drive.

Easy automated backup software, multiple computer sync and Windows compatibility.

Use it for backing up your important files or for some extra space. Even the best hard drives fail, so it's not a matter of if but when. Make sure you're backed up!

Maxtor (Seagate) Tops the Industry
written by Mike Herman, January 16, 2009
Seagte, which owns the Maxtor brand name, is BY FAR the leader in hard drive technology. Whenever the 'next' largest hard drive comes out, it's always Seagate behind the technology.

They also serve OEMs. The hard drive in an X-Box...yep, that's from Seagate. The examples go on and on.

Their latest marketing push is around their FreeAgent portable drives. They're not just powerful and compact, they're also beautifully designed. And trust me, seeing the drives on their FreeAgent site (http://freeagent.seagate.com/en-us/) is one thing, but the elegance of the design is best understood when you put one in your hand.

Nope, I don't work in Scotts Valley, CA for Seagate, I just know a lot about who they are and what they do. Me? ...I'm just Tony's brother!
